DESCRIPTION:This talk is part of the seminar series of the Centre for Lat
 in American and Caribbean Studies.\n\nWed 14 May 2025\, 5pm (UK time). T
 his event will be in person\, in Samuel Alexander Building\, room A214. 
 It can be followed online here: https://zoom.us/j/95860231166\n\nAbstrac
 t: In this talk I draw from my doctoral research to explore how Mapuzugu
 n\, the Mapuche language\, has been transformed by its recording and med
 iation in various formats\, and the consequences such transformations ha
 ve had for language revitalisation and Mapuche identity in Argentina. Of
  particular interest is the persistent conceptualisation of Mapuzugun in
  relation to 'orality'—a notion that both denotes the centrality of voca
 l performance within Mapuche culture and gestures towards the language's
  lack of orthographic scripture prior to European contact. Authors such 
 as Julio Ramos (1989) have discussed orality in Latin America as emergin
 g in relation to the written inscription of Indigenous and local vernacu
 lar voices from the colonial period onwards\, while Ana María Ochoa (201
 7) frames such practices of inscription in terms of competing auditory r
 egimes—that is\, value systems that establish who and what can listen an
 d be listened to\, as part of a wider cosmopolitics of knowledge and lif
 e. Along these lines\, I examine how Mapuzugun's orality is (re)produced
  in relation to practices of listening to\, recording and otherwise deal
 ing with the language as sound\, particularly through its mediation in h
 istorical scientific documents\, ethnographic recordings\, contemporary 
 educational materials and artistic uses of the language amidst wider rev
 italisation efforts.\n\nDylan Diego Bradbury is an ESRC-funded PhD candi
 date in Latin American Cultural Studies at the University of Manchester.
